Starting Anew

Well I want to apologize to you all because I've neglected to update as much as I promised. Life's been a crazy ride lately. But I want you all to know that I do really appreciate any feedback and views. Lately I've been kind of down, more than normal, and I've decided to start looking into seeing a therapist. The reason I'm telling you all is because I'm not ashamed of it. I may have depression or something along those lines and that's okay with me. There's nothing wrong with that. As a huge advocate of widening our views and awareness. I want others who suffer from extreme sadness or just going through a tough time to know that they're not alone. Sometimes life throws us off track to help us become stronger.
Anyways I hope that I'll be able to update more now that things have quieted down.
Stay beautiful!

The Fierce Love Movement

Hello all you lovely and beautiful people! This post is about an amazing movement a close friend of mine has started called The Fierce Love. It's an inspiring and easy way to let someone know they are loved. As someone who has suffered from bad days, heartbreaks, and loss; I know what it's like to feel sad and depressed. No one should ever have to feel alone when all that could make them feel better is a little note telling them they are beautiful or smart. 

Here's general information:

"This Cause is in memory of Jeffrey Fehr, and anyone who has ever felt less than loved, and suffered the consequences. It is important that we let those around us know everyday, that we love them. This Cause is also tailored to reaching out to those that we don't know and offering messages of love, hope, compassion, and inspiration. The current movement within this Cause is to send out snail mail letters to random people across the country. The letters address love, hope, compassion, and inspiration. You never know when you will impact someone's life, and it's time we start taking the chance."

All you have to do is send a letter, picture, drawing, mixed CD, card, whatever you want to someone. Preferably someone you don't know. It doesn't have to be long, just something that would make that person(s) day. Get creative! Make sure you mention "The Fierce Love Movement" somewhere. If you would like to remain anonymous then feel free to sign as "The Fierce Love Movement" or even use a code-name! Make sure you keep a log of who and how many letters you send; so we can keep track. 

I hope you all consider taking part in this amazing movement! If you would like me to send something to someone you know let me know! Send me an email at storiofmylife@yahoo.com

Arms of the angel

So if you haven't heard by now...the holiday season was not kind to me. To start off with the less depressing news: I was supposed to go to Japan to see my boyfriend, however, my MRSA relapsed, so I couldn't go. The same night my grandmother was sent back to the ER. Because it still hurts to talk about the short version is she was sent to hospice and died on Friday December 30, 2011. It was hardest goodbye I've ever had to do. She was an amazing woman and the most spirited person I know. I hope to become more like her as time passes.

As a message to anyone who's lost a loved one or may be losing one...don't feel like you're alone. There is always at least one person who will listen to you. You will feel sad, you will feel angry and frustrated. There is no stopping the things you feel. I dealt with all of this by writing a poem and putting together the poems for the viewing and funeral. The praise is the best motivation to keep staying strong.
Below is my poem in honor of my grandmother (mom-mom):

I'll never forget your love,
That radiant fire glow.
It lives on within our hearts,
Forever engraved in our souls.
The embers of your love,
Burn bright in us all.
Never waning slightly
Or growing small.

The world you filled has lost its luster,
But it never fades away.
Our hearts shall grow stronger
Each and every day.
Loving unconditionally, was one of your greatest virtues.
Making life filled in wondrous hues.

Death, that necessary evil, stole you from our lives.
But granted us a peaceful image,
that will survive.
You have somewhere else to light.
Another place to be.
None will stop loving you,
Especially me. 

I know you'll always be watching.
Caring, loving strong.
I'll feel you in my heart.
I'll hear you in every song.

So enjoy where ever you are.
Peaceful and serene.
I'll see you soon again one day.
In a beautiful, bright scene.
